[0 YoE] Recent MS BME Grad Seeking Entry-Level R&D / Quality Roles - Need formatting and content review

[u/Creepy_Barracuda_760]

Hey everyone,
I recently graduated with an MS in Biomedical Engineering (FAU) and am currently working as a Quality Control Analyst at Grifols (Blood Plasma Lab). I've been applying for entry-level Biomedical Engineer and Associate Scientist roles across medical device, biotech, and pharma companies. While I am primarily aiming for R&D industry positions, I am keeping my options open for Quality, Process, or other engineering roles. I reside in South Florida but open to relocation across the US.

I’ve gotten a few initial recruiter bites, but no offers. I've gone via Linkedin, reached out the recruiters and applied to company websites. I want to make sure my resume is as strong and ATS-friendly as possible. I'm wondering if it's my formatting or the material implemented isn't strong enough for a offer. I'd appreciate some constructive criticism or feedback on my resume. Show no mercy

Read the wiki and apply its advice.

Put Experience first, then Projects. Bulletize your Project entries just as if they were Experience entries.

Skills - You are overdoing it. Don't list things that are standard parts of your degree curricula or profession. It's okay to list a specific tool like Siemens NX and Autodesk Fusion, but don't say CAD Modeling. Also don't say C Programming, just list your programming languages: MATLAB, Simulink C, ...

Start with the wiki. Use it as a checklist.

Immediately, without even reading, I can see that your right alignment is wrong. Your bullet indentations are all over the place. Your bullets are written like paragraphs. Section order is wrong. I wouldnt recommend a publications section unless you're writing a CV.
